Malaysia increased gas-fired power generation 50.5% in April to reach a record 5.54 terawatt-hours. The surge met an 11.5% rise in electricity demand driven by heatwaves and expanding data center infrastructure. This pivot away from coal highlights Malaysia's use of domestic Natural Gas to insulate its economy from global energy volatility.
